You can call it whatever you want, as long as it equals 1/2 it’s the same number.

So yes, multiplying by 2/2 to make it more intuitively obvious is perfectly valid and a good way to think about it. Most arithmetic tricks are ultimately multiplying by 1 or adding 0 just to make the problem easier to handle.

Seriously, why is basic arithmetic worthy of so much discussion?

Just… do the math. It’s not complicated math.

Well, it is canon that the Abrahamic god kills children en masse sometimes. He does love a good genocide.

If this is real and in the US, I would love to see a Gen Xer or elder Millennial apply, make sure to mention their generation, and then get this dumbass owner to say in writing that they aren’t hiring them because they aren’t a Boomer.

IANAL, but that seems like a slam dunk age discrimination case as long as the applicant is at least 40.

I’m becoming increasingly interested in doing this as well. What all needs to be put in place for it to happen?

One Dean Koontz book isn’t a great sample size. He writes a LOT and most of it isn’t very good, but every once in a while he gets it just right and puts out a really good one.

Though tbf, I haven’t re-read his stuff in probably 10 years so I don’t know if it holds up to modern scrutiny. Odd Thomas was always my favorite of his.

Killing is too easy. Beat them into submission and then make them sign your contract.

1d10 per beam that you can upgrade with your charisma modifier later and eventually get 4 beams! Much, much better deal IMO.

I’d feel a little different (still pissed) if it was a next door neighbor who extended their mow. But to cross the street and change someone’s property without permission is already hostile to me.

Not everywhere is in an HOA. And many people allow native vegetation on purpose to give local wildlife something to eat (see OP).

Did you sue? I’d have been livid enough to try to sue. IANAL, but at a minimum I would hope that would be trespassing.

Yeah, I’m very confused by this. Why do the users notifying IT have to do the training?

I’ve worked a help desk before, while after dozens of people sending it in we don’t really need it forwarded anymore, people don’t know that until we get the I’d still rather people forward it than click it. Ignore and delete is best since I guarantee someone will forward it to IT, but forwarding (even forwarding and asking) is never bad and demonstrates good awareness.

They used a too-generic label for tea but that covers all bases, while doing a couple very specific types of coffee that leave many bases uncovered.

What about people who like a little cream and sugar in their coffee but don’t do lattes? I make mine in a moka pot, add a pump of vanilla syrup and a splash of half & half.

“Sick of your shit as fuck”?
